Google Launches Similar Images & Google News Timeline

by Scott Beale on April 20, 2009 · 1 comment

Google has just launched two new services that are part of their Google Labs.

Similar Images

Similar Images allows you to search for images using pictures rather than words. With the similar images feature, most images have a link below them that lets you find other images like them. There’s no need for you to refine the text of your query. Your new results will be tailored based on whatever image you select.

Google News Timeline

Google News Timeline

A web application that organizes information chronologically. Google News Timeline allows users to view news, scanned newspapers and magazines, blog posts, sports scores, and more on a zoomable, graphical timeline.

Clever ideas, horrible videos :)

Google should stop using their engineers on their videos, they’d better use someone can “act”.
